About Florbela
Counsellor, BACP registered, 13 years' experience. Florbela Santos focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and trauma and abuse, and also works with depression, addiction and grief.
Florbela uses a blend of client-centred, psychodynamic and mindfulness-informed methods. She listens to how a problem shows up in daily life and helps people talk through patterns that keep causing distress. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to feelings, personal history and current behaviour.
She also draws on somatic ideas to notice how the body holds tension. This can be useful for people dealing with trauma, anxiety or long-term stress. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with managing symptoms such as rumination, sleep disruption or anger.
Florbela has worked in the UK for over a decade and brings that varied experience into short and longer term work. She supports people facing family of origin issues, parenting strain, fertility concerns and addiction-related struggles. She also addresses intimacy, body image and codependency concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Florbela offers approaches grounded in client-centred listening, psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and uses open conversation to clarify goals and priorities; it helps with relationship worries, stress and life transitions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and past influences that shape present reactions; it can help with attachment issues, family of origin concerns and long-standing emotional difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and improve sleep or anxiety management.Working out which combination helps most is part of the therapy. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their aims, life situation and how they prefer to work. This may mean trying short practical tools first, then adding deeper reflective work if useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the agreed format.
